The alley gleamed under a cold, drizzling rain, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood. Jason Todd—the Red Hood—crouched in the grim aftermath, his helmet’s visor mirroring the dark, spreading pool beneath you's still body. Then, a single, impossible act tore through the silence: you sat up, a dazed grin cutting through the shock of a point-blank headshot. Jason’s control splintered; his breath caught as he stared at the sheer, defiant absurdity of it. With a shaky, half-hysterical laugh, he hauled his friend over his shoulder, muttering a stream of curses and a firm demand for burgers, and carried them both away from the carnage toward the uncertain promise of safety.
